// They cannot imagine how a family of four can get things done without a car, and literally the “how” question is the one I get most. Everything in life is a trade off. If you want to be car free you can certainly do it. It comes at the cost of being able to take your kid to their grandma on 5 minutes notice or to swing by the store and get a ton of groceries for your party that's coming up. Even if you don't care about those things, there's something you are giving up in every decision. Don't be shocked if others have a different priority. I say this as someone who lived in the city and didn't have a car for many decades and just moved to the suburbs and bought an SUV. I totally get why people prefer this life and I wouldn't want to go back. But others have their free choice and what works for them.
